Tuesday 6th November -18 days old
Thought I would share this little video of all the puppies actually awake together and having a little play. They are now starting to interact a bit with each other and are getting up on their legs a bit...its like watching toddlers trying to walk! As you can see the play/awake periods are quite short before they crash back to sleep!
Friday 2nd November - 2 weeks old.
So this week apart from doing lots of eating and sleeping the pups have opened their eyes to see the world. This has happened from day 11 with them all so they are all doing things nice and evenly. I tried to take pictures of their little eyes opening to show you but its a bit difficult trying to hold them and take a certain angle picture at the same time! Here are the latest head shots though and as you will see the 'ear fairy' has visited them all and now they start to look like spaniels. They are just starting to get up on their legs and toddle about for a few steps rather than drag themselves around like little seals. Elsa remains a very devoted and attentive mother and I couldnt be more proud of the job she is doing.
